A hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6840 individuals with the blood type AA, 2860 individuals with blood type AB and 300 individuals with the blood type BB. If the next generation contained 25,000 individuals, how may individuals would have BB blood type, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Express as a whole number.

A hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6848 individuals with the blood type AA, 2846 individuals with blood type AB, and 306 individuals with the blood type BB. What is the frequency of each genotype in this population? What is the frequency of the A allele? What is the frequency of the B allele? If the next generation contained 25,000 individuals, how many individuals would have blood type BB, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
What is one assumption of the Hardy-Weinberg law that does not hold true for all populations?
Assume there is a population with these different percentages of genotypes: 68% BB, 20% Bb, and about 9% bb. Will this be considered in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Why or why not?
In smurfs, blue tails and red tails are codominant to white tails (this is similar to blood type in humans). In a population of 200 smurfs, 6 have white tails, 93 have blue tails, 51 have red tails, and 50 have purple tails. Papa smurf has learned that the frequency of the blue tail allele is 0.53. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Be sure to do a Chi-square test and show your work.
Assume that the frequency of gene B in a hypothetical population Is 0.63, that there are only two alleles (B and b) of the gee in the population, that allele B is dominant over allele b, that neither allele has a selective advantage over the other, and that the population is at equilibrium with regard to this particular gene. And how many individuals in this population are expected to be of genotype BB according to the Hardy-Weinberg formula? (Assume that the total population size is 150) 71 52 118 60 131
In a certain population of frogs, 120 are green, 60 are brownish green, and 20 are brown. The allele for brown is denoted GB, and the allele for green is designated GG. These two alleles are incompletely dominant to each other. If this population were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many green frogs would you expect to observe? (Remember to multiply the expected frequency by the number of frogs in the population.)
In a system that meets the requirements for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium 75% of individuals exhibit the dominant phenotype for a trait. What percentage of the total population of these organisms will be heterozygotes for that trait?
A population of dragons is as follows: 46 are green with genotype GG 106 are green with genotype Gg 56 are red with genotype gg Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Assume 1 degree of freedom for your chi-square test.
Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disease that afflicts approximately 1 in 12 African Americans, meaning that the frequency of ss homozygotes is 0.09. Assuming the African American population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of Ss carriers in this population?
Use the equation p2+2pq+q2+1.0 to solve the following problem. In a population of 100 squirrels there are 64 black ones, and the remaining are white. Black (B) is the dominant allele, and the white (b) is the recessive allele. If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the black squirrels that are heterozygous (BB) for their coat color. A. 0.48 B. 0.16 C.0.40 D. 0.32 E.0.64
A population of 1000 beetles has 600 individuals that have genotype QQ, 100 individuals that have genotype Qq, and 300 individuals that have genotype qq. a) Calculate f(Q) and f(q) for this population. Show your work and don’t assume HWE. b) Calculate f(QQ), f(Qq), and f(qq) for this population. Show your work and don’t assume HWE. c) Calculate the expected genotype frequencies if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Show your work. d) Does this population appear to be at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Why or why not? (Although answering this question rigorously would require a statistical test, you don’t need to do that here.).
In a human population at equilibrium, three genotypes are present in the following proportions: A/A = 0.81, A/a = 0.18, a/a = 0.01. Answer the following questions: What are the frequencies of gene A and gene a? What will their frequencies be in the next generation?
